Will you demonstrate , How to replace tagline in minimum Pro with a widget area. ?
Is there a way to configure the widget so it only appears on the homepage, as opposed to every page and post? Thanks for your help, your posts have been extremely useful.
Thanks for this. I did this – worked great. However, I have a big concern. The concern is regarding SEO. Now for my home page there is only a title, which is my site name when I am on my home page.
When I go to my site, on the top it has (site name) –
I have something custom on my page using your above code. I don’t want what I have there to be the description for the home page. If I add a description in the theme editor or in WP settings, it then adds the tagline under my custom text in the widget and makes it look terrible.
All I’m looking to do do is add to my title on my home page for SEO purposes. So it will say something like:
Site name – The best site in the world.
I’ve spent a total of 6 hours today trying to figure out how to do this. Something tells me that this is a 2 minute fix. Just don’t know where/ how to do it with your code I’m using. Thanks.
Yes you can. In functions.php just use “site-description” instead of “home-featured”. IMO, it makes sense to name it “home-featured” or something else that describes that area rather than “site-description” if it is not the site description.
You can alternately just locate the “.site-description” block in style.css and add “.home-featured” to the selector comma separated if you do not want to add another CSS block per the article.

so that on blogs with a secondary sidebar, the tagline spans the entire width of the blog rather than just over the main content area and primary sidebar.
Good morning, your tip worked great for removing the tagline thank you! I was also able to create the widget and I wanted to place a custom menu/category menu in the widget but it is showing vertical not horizontal how would I fix this? That’s the main issue I see with the eleven40 pro vs the old version of eleven40, the secondary nav doesn’t populate below the header.
I have followed your steps and successfully replaced the taglin with ad but its displaying below the secondary nav bar which should come inbetween primay and secondary nav bar. Please let me know how to fix it.
I have replaced the tagline with ad but its not fit between top and bottom navigation bar. Could you please check my site http://www.techbeta.org and let me know how to fix it.

Try adding this in functions.php instead of the suggested code in my post: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=tuGThQku

The code changes in this article do not affect the display of tagline in title meta tag.
Can you provide the URL of your site?
Go ahead and enter your desired tagline at Settings > General.
Doesn’t the site description area already have a style in the css? Can I just reference that default css style in the functions.php?
Yes you can. In functions.php just use “site-description” instead of “home-featured”. IMO, it makes sense to name it “home-featured” or something else that describes that area rather than “site-description” if it is not the site description.

Going with that route. Thank you.
Can you create this widget that targets a specific page or post–not the homepage.
You might want to change
add_action( ‘genesis_before_content’, ‘eleven40_home_featured’ );
to
add_action( ‘genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap’, ‘eleven40_home_featured’ );
so that on blogs with a secondary sidebar, the tagline spans the entire width of the blog rather than just over the main content area and primary sidebar.
Thanks. Done.
Brilliant, Thanks Sridar, working a treat on my site http://www.rogerperkin.co.uk/ccie
I am running a google Ad in the widget area, how do I make it align left instead of centre.
I have tried changing the following?
text-align: left;
Didn’t make any difference?
Many Thanks – great site

I see that you have switched to another theme. Let me know if/when you have switched back to eleven40 Pro and still need help.
Just comment out or delete “text-align: center;” in style.css for “.home-featured”.
Hello there,
I implemented the code and it works.
However it does not cover the secondary sidebar and how would I put it above the secondary navigation bar.
Use “genesis_after_header” hook instead of “genesis_before_content” or “genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap”. You may have to adjust the CSS.
